This is the best thing ever. It’s how I feel after a ride in a New York City cab, the Batman ride at Great America, or a really great Saturday night in Chicago. TYPOE is the artist behind this and has a current exhibit at Art Basel Miami.

In a slightly random turn of events Banksy will be releasing a new film called Exit Through The Gift Shop that will be premiering at Sundance this Sunday. The film supposedly is about a man who tried to make a movie about Banksy, but Banksy ends up making a film about him instead. From viewing the trailer it just looks like him and Shep Fairey running around Silver Lake and Melrose bombing buildings. I’m curious to hear what it’s really about, I’m sure it’ll be interesting no matter what it is.

Self taught artist, Frank Duval, aka FKDL, is an adept of collage in all its forms since 1997 : art scotch, paintings, murals, street art… In 2006, he creates a family of 20 black voluptuous silhouettes on the walls of Paris, before taking them to New-York, Berlin, London, Barcelona, Turin…
Once they’re adorned with bits from vintage magazines, his figures, with their characteristic colored backgrounds and their happy body language, make FKDL a unique signature in the universe of street art.

Great Photoshop Adbusting of a boring advertisement which you see everywhere in Berlin, Germany: Britney Spears, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera selling their albums. The adbusting was done by the FTW crew (Mr. Tailon, Baveux Prod., Kone & Epoxy) and consists of overlaying the image with stickers from Adobe Photoshop’s interface panels.

The Scrawl Collective Following the success of 1999's book: Scrawl, Dirty Graphics and Strange Characters and 2001's Scrawl Too, More Dirt (Booth Clibborn Editions), the co-author Ric Blackshaw set up The Scrawl Collective, an agency and consultancy dealing with street artists and related illustrators. What started as a "let's see what happens" sideline has grown into a group of artists known for cutting edge street styles whose work has become highly collectable and who's commercial work is sought after all over the world by design companies, advertising agencies and PR companies alike.

Are You Generic intends to fuse the cry of protest and demonstration with aesthetic graphic design -- to replace the Tommy/GAP/Nike logos with rallying statements of assertion. We hope to flourish as a grass roots operation -- spreading by word of mouth

This presents the awesome possibility of people having to appeal such a decision. Should you want to keep a piece of graffiti on your property you are now granted two weeks to convince a table of magistrates that it is not "detrimental to the amenity of the area".

This website showcases graffiti photos from Scotland (especially Glasgow and Edinburgh graffiti), and anywhere else I can get to. So far that includes London, Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Seville, Bristol, Lyon, Marseille, Brussels. There are also photos other people have sent in, including graffiti from Holland, Canada, Australia and more. I also put some other photos that aren't related to graffiti on here occasionally.

Founded on the theory that " if you can't find it, You make it", Beautiful/Decay was created to bridge the gap between art and graffiti, underground and mainstream, design and fine art, Punk rock and hip hop, illustration and design, and most importantly high and low art. With a focus on cutting edge work in all the aforementioned genres, B/D strives to showcase new and emerging artwork Whether it be Interior or exterior.

"Street art is both an expression of our culture and a counterculture in itself. %u2018Communication%u2019 has become a modern mantra: the city streets shout with billboards, fly posters and corporate advertising, all vying for our attention. They almost invite a subversive response. As high-tech communications have increased, a low-tech reaction has been the recent explosion in street art."
